Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of drawing time on my hands this week. In fact, I've actually worked 13 days in a row, most nearing 10 hours. I go home and go to sleep. Except sometimes I've had insomnia, like the past two days, in which my days become less fun. So, really, my not drawing a lot makes sense. Still, let's take a look.
This is Master Monkey. True story: I spent three months trying to learn monkey-style kung fu at university. My instructor thought it would be the best to complement my natural abilities. Those three months sucked, and at the end, the instructor conceded that I'm not a good monkey. That experience likely helps shape why I don't like Master Monkey. As for the picture ... meh. It does nothing for me. It mostly looks Monkey, I guess. Some of the hands are okay, others are horrible. I won't be drawing Monkey again anytime soon.
This is (mostly) Master Tigress. No, it's not completely finished yet, but I'm uploading it anyway. True story: my Kung Fu instructor said "You're a natural tiger." Later, as I finished my training with him, he said "You'll be a tiger for life." This thrilled me. Tigers and big cats have always been my favourite animals. Relatedly, Tigress is my favourite of the Furious Five. This drawing is shaping up fairly well ... except for the head. The head doesn't capture the tilted 3/4 perspective. I blame the jaw and nose. Something is off there. I will erase and redo that area, hoping to fix that area. The marking are fairly good. Obviously, I still need to shade virtually everything. Let's look at this again when I finish it.
For me, summer ends next week. Then I go back to regular working hours, which means more art hours. I look forward to it.
